The present invention relates to a series of novel complexes of quadricoordinate, divalent platinum with certain specified amino compounds. Such complexes have valuable anti-tumor activity with better solubility than known anti-tumor platinum compounds and complexes. The invention also provides a process for preparing these complexes and methods and compositions using them.
Cancerous disorders are a major medical problem but are often difficult to cure. The main reason for this is that the differences between tumor cells and normal cells are generally extremely small, with the result that compounds which are toxic to tumor cells are also toxic to normal cells. The chemotherapy of cancerous disorders is therefore generally dependent upon very limited differences between the susceptibilities of tumor cells and of normal cells to anti-tumor agents.
Various platinum compounds are known to have anti-tumor activities. For example cisplatin [Rosenberg et al, Nature 222, 385 (1965) and The Merck Index, tenth edition (1983) monograph 2289] has been successfully used in the treatment of tumors, and malonato-(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)platinum(II) [e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,846 and Kidani et al, Gann, 71, 637-643 (1980)] has also been proposed for such use. Both of the above platinum complexes have some structural similarity to the compounds of the invention. Another platinum complex, although structurally less similar to the compounds of the invention, which has recently become available for the treatment of tumors is carboplatin [Drugs of the Future, Vol. 8, No. 6, 489-491 (1983)]. However, most of the known platinum complexes, including those referred to above, have a high renal toxicity and a poor solubility in water, which makes it difficult to formulate them into an appropriate dosage form.
Another series of platinum complexes with a limited structural resemblance to the compounds of the present invention are disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 902,420, filed 29 Aug. 1986.
We have now discovered a novel series of platinum complexes which have good anti-tumor activity but relatively few side effects, such as renal toxicity and bone marrow suppression, and which have a good solubility in water.

The invention still further provides methods of preparing the compounds of the present invention, as described in more detail hereafter.
The compounds of the present invention contain a quadricoordinate, divalent platinum atom, two of whose coordinate positions are occupied by amino groups derived from one diamino or two monoamino compounds (represented by A and B) and the other two of whose coordinate positions are occupied by a carboxy oxygen atom and an amino nitrogen atom or by two carboxy oxygen atoms.
Where A and/or B represents a primary alkylamine, the alkyl part thereof has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and examples of such compounds include methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, isopropylamine, butylamine, sec-butylamine and t-butylamine. Where A and/or B represents a secondary alkylamine, each alkyl part contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and the two alkyl groups may be the same or different, but are preferably the same. Examples of such compounds include dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, methylethylamine and methylpropylamine.
Where A and/or B represents an aromatic amine, the aromatic part is a carbocyclic aryl group having from 6 to 10 ring atoms and is preferably a phenyl or naphthyl (1- or 2- naphthyl) group. Such aryl groups may be the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl groups. There unsubstituted or they may be substituted and, if substituted, the substituent(s) is or are selected from is, in principle, no limitation on the number of such substituents, the number being only limited by the number of substitutable positions and, possibly, by steric considerations in general from 1 to 3 substituents are preferred, a single substituent being most preferred in this case. Examples of such aromatic amines include aniline, the toluidines (especially p-toluidine) and α- or β- naphylamine, of which aniline and p-toluidine are preferred.
As an alternative, A and B together may represent a diamino compound, as defined above. For example, where A and B together represent a compound of formula H 2 N--Y--NH 2 , Y represents a C 2 -C 7 alkylene group, which may be a straight or branched chain group. The two "free" valencies of the alkylene group may be attached to the same carbon atom (in which case such groups are sometimes referred to as "alkylidene" groups) or, and more preferably, they may be attached to different carbon atoms. Examples of such diamino compounds include ethylene diamine, trimethylene diamine (1,3-diaminopropane), 2-methyltetramethylene diamine (1,4-diamino-2-methylbutane) and 2,2-diethyltrimethylene diamine (1,3-diamino-2,2-diethylpropane).
An alternative class of diamines which may be represented by A and B are C 5 -C 8 alicyclic diamines in which each amino group is provided by an amino substituent on the alicyclic ring or by a C 1 -C 4 aminoalkyl substituent on the alicyclic ring; if desired, the compound may contain two such amino substituents, two such aminoalkyl substituents or one such amino substituent and one such aminoalkyl substituent. In the case of the aminoalkyl substituents, the alkyl part has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 or 2 carbon atoms and most preferably 1 carbon atom. Examples of such aminoalkyl groups include the aminomethyl, 2-aminoethyl, 3-aminopropyl and 4-aminobutyl groups, of which the aminomethyl group is preferred. The alicyclic ring system itself is preferably a cycloalkyl ring and may be a single, optionally bridged, ring or it may be provided by two fused rings, the total number of carbon atoms in the ring or rings being from 5 to 8. Examples of such ring systems include the cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane, 8,9,10-trinorcarane, 8,9,10-trinorpinane and 8,9,10-trinorbornane systems, of which the cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane and bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane systems are preferred. Examples of particularly preferred such diamines include 1,1-bis[aminomethyl]cyclohexane, 1,2-diaminocyclopentane, 1-amino-2-aminomethylcyclopentane, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, 1-amino-2-aminomethylcyclohexane, 1,2-diaminocycloheptane, 1,2-diaminocyclooctane and 2,3-diaminobicyclo[2.1.1]cyclohexane.
Another series of diamines which may be represented by A and B together are the aromatic diamines, in which the amino groups may, as with the alicyclic diamines, be provided by an amino substituent directly on the aromatic ring and/or by an aminoalkyl substituent in which the alkyl part has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of such aminoalkyl substituents are as given above in relation to the alicyclic diamines. As with the alicyclic diamines, the compound may contain two amino groups directly attached to the aromatic ring, two aminoalkyl groups or one amino group attached to the aromatic ring and one aminoalkyl group. In this case, the preferred option is two amino groups attached directly to the aromatic ring. The aromatic ring is a C 6 -C 10 ring, more preferably a C 6 or C 10 ring, i.e. benzene or napthalene. Examples of such aromatic diamines include m-phenylenediamine, 2,3-naphthylenediamine, 1-amino-2-aminomethylbenzene and 1,2-bis(aminomethyl)benzene.
As a further alternative, the diamine may be a compound in which one of the amino groups is provided by a nitrogen hereto-atom in a heterocyclic compound having the nitrogen atom as one hereto-atom and optionally having an oxygen atom as another hereto-atom. The heterocyclic ring may be aromatic or non-aromatic in character and contains, in total, 5 or 6 ring atoms. The other amino group is provided by an amino or aminoalkyl, preferably aminoalkyl, substituent on the heterocyclic ring, the alkyl part of which contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and examples of which are as given in relation to alicyclic diamines. Examples of such heterocyclic ring systems include pyrrole, isoxazole, pyridine, pyrrolidine, pyrroline, piperidine and morpholine. Specific examples of preferred such diamines include 2-aminomethylpyrrolidine, 3-aminomethylmorpholine, 2-aminomethylpiperidine and 2-aminomethylpyridine.
Another class of heterocyclic diamines are those in which the heterocyclic ring contains one or two oxygen or sulfur hereto-atoms but no nitrogen hetero-atoms and hence the two amino groups have to be provided by substituents on the heterocyclic ring. As with the alicyclic diamines, the compound may contain two amino groups directly attached to the heterocyclic ring, two aminoalkyl groups or one amino group attached to the heterocyclic ring and one aminoalkyl group. Examples of such heterocyclic rings include the thiophene, furan, pyran, 1,3-dioxane and 1,3-dithiane ring systems. Specific examples of such compounds include those corresponding to the alicyclic diamines exemplified above, but in which the alicyclic ring is replaced by one of the aforementioned heterocyclic rings. The most preferred of this class of heterocyclic diamines is 5,5-bis(aminomethyl)-l,3-dioxane.

In general above, where reference is made to "substituted" groups, there is no restriction upon the number of substituents, except, as would be well recognised by those skilled in the art, those imposed by the number of substitutable positions and/or by steric constraints. In most cases, however, we generally would not expect to exceed 3 such substituents (although only for reasons of convenience and not associated with the essence of the invention), and normally, in the present case, one such substituent is preferred, except where otherwise noted. The compounds of the present invention can exist in the form of various geometric isomers about the platinum atom and possibly because of asymmetric carbon atoms in groups within the compounds. The present invention embraces both the individual isolated isomers, as well as mixtures thereof. Individual isomers may be prepared by stereo-specific synthesis techniques, or they may be prepared by separation of mixtures of isomers, as is well recognised in the art. It is also well known that some isomers may be more active than others, and this may be determined with ease in respect of any particular pair of isomers, using standard laboratory techniques. Examples of specific compounds of the invention are given in the following formulae (I-1) to (I-5), in which the substituents are as defined in the corresponding one of Tables 1 to 5 [i.e. Table 1 relates to formula (I-1), Table 2 relates to formula (I-2) and so on]. In the Tables, the following abbreviations are used:

The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by a variety of methods well known for preparing this type of complex. Examples of suitable preparative procedures are illustrated in the following reaction schemes: ##STR11##
In the above formulae, A, B, R 1 , R 2 , R 7 , X and n are as defined above. M represents an atom of a metal capable of generating an alkaline medium, for example an alkali metal, especially sodium or potassium.
The platinum complexes of formulae (V) and (VIII), used as starting materials are well known compounds. The mono- and di- carboxylic acids of formulae (VII) and (IX) and the salt of formula (VI) can be prepared as described in Japanese Patent Application Kokai No. 56-142259.
In Reaction Scheme A1, the compound of formula (V) is reacted with the compound of formula (VI), to give the desired compound of formula (Ia). This reaction is preferably effected by adding the salt of formula (VI), preferably in an equivalent amount or in a slight molar excess, to the complex of formula (V), preferably in an aqueous solution or aqueous suspension. In Reaction Scheme A2, the compound of formula (V) is reacted with the compound of formula (VII), to give the desired compound of formula (Ib). This reaction is preferably effected by adding the acid of formula (VI), preferably in an equivalent amount or in a slight molar excess, and an alkali (e.g. an alkali metal hydroxide, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an alkaline resin), preferably in an amount of about 2 equivalents, to the complex of formula (V), preferably in an aqueous solution or aqueous suspension. Alternatively, the process of Reaction Scheme A1 may be carried out using the acid corresponding to the salt of formula (VI) in the presence of such an alkali, or the process of Reaction Scheme A2 may be carried out using the salt corresponding to the acid of formula (VII) without necessarily employing any added alkali.
Both reactions are preferably carried out at a temperature of from 0° C. to 50° C., although the reaction temperature is not too critical to the present invention. The time required for the reaction may vary widely, depending on many factors, notably the reaction temperature and the nature of the reagents: however, a period of from 20 minutes to 5 days will normally suffice for Reaction Scheme A1 and a period of from 20 minutes to 20 days will normally suffice for Reaction Scheme A2.
When the reaction is deemed to be complete, the resulting precipitate may usually be collected by filtration. However, if the desired compound does not precipitate as crystals, the compound may be recovered by the following recovery sequence: first the reaction mixture is concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure: the residue is mixed with a solvent which has no adverse effect on the desired compound; this may cause the desired compound to crystallise out--if so, it may be collected by filtration: alternatively, the resulting solution may be purified by one of the various chromatography techniques, such as column chromatography, e.g. using an adsorptive resin, such as Diaion (trade mark) CHP-20P or Sephadex (trade mark), or an ion-exchange resin, to give the desired compound.
The complex of formula (VIII) used as a starting material in Reaction Schemes B1 and B2, may be prepared by treating the complex of formula (V) with an alkali (e.g. an alkali metal hydroxide, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an alkaline resin). This can then be reacted with the compound of formula (IX) or (VII), in a similar manner to that described with reference to Reaction Schemes A1 and A2.
The compounds of the present invention have shown excellent anti-tumor activity which is comparable with or better than that of cisplatin and carboplatin. Moreover, quite unexpectedly, it has been found that the compounds of the invention are even effective against a cisplatin-resistant strain of mouse leukemia L1210. Moreover, the compounds of the invention appear to have surprisingly limited side-effects, such as renal toxicity and bone marrow suppression, and they have a very high solubility in water, which makes them very easy to administer. The strains of tumor against which the compounds have been tested are recognised as providing a model for assessing the likely value of a compound for the treatment of tumors affecting human beings.
There is no particular restriction on the route of administration, but, for use as a carcinostatic agent, the platinum complexes of the present invention are preferably administered parenterally, for example as injections. The dosage may vary depending upon the age, body weight and condition of the patient, as well as the nature and severity of the tumor, but we generally prefer to administer the compound in an amount of from 10 mg to several grams per day for adult human patients, generally as divided doses.
The invention is further illustrated with reference to the following non-limiting Examples. Preparation of certain of the starting materials used in these Examples is illustrated by the subsequent Preparations. The subsequent Experiment illustrates the biological activity of certain of the compounds of the present invention.
cis-[trans-(l)-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane]platinum(II) 2-oxoazetidine-4,4-dicarboxylate
2 g of cis-[trans-(l)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane]platinum(II) dinitrate were suspended in 80 ml of water, and the suspension was stirred at 28° C. overnight. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure to a volume of about 45 ml, and then 1 g of sodium 2-oxoazetidine-4,4-dicarboxylate (prepared as described in Preparation 1) was added to the concentrate. The mixture was then adjusted to a pH value of 6.1 by adding an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and was stirred for about 2 hours, whilst ice-cooling. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration and washed with small amounts of water and of diethyl ether to give 0.58 g of the title compound.
